Blood brothers of angels now hear us,We earthbound your offspring, don't fear usGod willing, we'll rise up, be near youSo open your arms now, and take usSo we're breathing our dreams, like the Icarus of oldThe plans we made for the boldAnd the blue-eyed beyond, there's nowhere to hideThere's no going back now

[chorus:]As the wind whips over the hillside20 knots over Kill Devil HillSteady wind blows over the sand20 knots over Kill Devil HillAs the breeze whips straight as an arrowIt begun over Kill Devil HillGasoline and wind in the wiresKill Devil Hill and the way to the stars

We stand on this seashore and wonderWhat madness, what secrets we plunderAll failure we learn from, discoveryThe wreckage of heaven lies on the sandFirst chance is abandonedWith wood string and wire we can barely control our desireFor destiny's arrows...

[chorus:]As the wind whips over the hillside20 knots over Kill Devil HillSteady wind blows over the sand20 knots over Kill Devil HillAs the breeze whips straight as an arrowIt begun over Kill Devil HillGasoline and wind in the wiresKill Devil Hill and the way to the stars
